Villa Rocca is a beautiful villa with a lovely pool on top of a hill. We stayed there with 10 people and it never felt too small (four bathrooms helps). It was a really nice choice for vacationing in Cefalu. One thing to know is that the villa is on top of a very steep hill that can be a little intimidating for uninitiated drivers so take it slow on your first drive up there.

Privacy, View and Space for a good Price: For our Group of 8 (4 couples) more than enough space and regarding the price for this well located and calm villa with a breathtaking view and an often used pingpong table some small things were easy to look over (e.g. some kitchen aids and the shower upstairs did not work well). We would love to come again. Thank you for having us!

Amazing house in the hills of chefalu. Well equipped kitchen and sitting area for 10 people, but the annex is not ideal, at least for the time of year we were there, as it’s quite damp in the rooms. The main house fits 7, and works amazingly. The house is really good at keeping the cold in, which I guess works well in the summer, but it’s a bit too cold for the fall for my opinion (had not packed the correct clothes at least). A bit difficult to find the house the first time, so recommend to arrive when it’s light. The communication with the host is spot on and super fast. Good restaurant tips for cefalu as well. I would highly recommend the house.

Nous étions un groupe de 9 adultes et nous avons apprécié notre court séjour à villa Rocca malgré la route très étroite pour y arriver (en van 9 personnes c'était compliqué). Le logement était fonctionnel, la literie confortable et nous étions ravis de trouver de quoi manger en arrivant. Notre hôte a été réactif et de très bons conseils.

Wonderful location with beautiful views and away from the Cefalu crowds! The house is very well equipped and large (we were 2 families with children). We discovered that the pool was shallow but we hadn't read the announcement properly. Still very nice after a hot day hiking or visiting Palermo! Thank you Andrea for the warm welcome!

Everything was just incredible - great place to chill with family and friends. Villa is situated around 500 m above sea level so in the off season (we are in the beggining of the October) it may be a little chilly (around 18 Celsius degrees outside in the evening).

Beautiful villa. Had a very good holiday. Pool and views are fabulous. Villa spotlessly clean and enjoyed spacious open plan. We had small baby in our family group so spent more time at villa- enjoyed eating outside. Watching the nuthatch and firecrest in the garden trees- bee eaters overhead- were an added bonus! Enjoyed table tennis too! Downside- winding track to house- missed the road up to house a couple of times!- not a big deal though- and definitely worth it to have such private peaceful house. Thank you!

Review for stay from 20 July 2019 to 27 July 2019

End of July 2019. The villa is situated on a hill about 530 m above sea level. Which explains the very nice temperature compared to the sticky heat in Cefalu. Beautiful view, nice pool, comfortable rooms, well equipped kitchen. Only regret, given the location, one has to drive between 100 and 200 km to visit those interesting sites, of which Sicily has a lot

Wir hatten eine traumhafte Woche in der Villa Rocca. Die Anfahrt zum Haus ist sehr steil und nicht einfach, jedoch wird man dafür mit einem Traumhaften Haus und Blick auf Cefalu belohnt. Während es in der Stadt extrem heißt war, hatten wir oben auf dem Berg jederzeit ein angenehmes Klima und das Haus bietet auch genug Schattenplätze, falls es doch mal heiß werden sollte. Das Haus an sich ist in einem guten Zustand bis auf ein paar Kleinigkeiten, welche uns aber nicht weiter gestört haben. Der Pool ist ein Traum und es gibt um das Grundstück herum auch einiges zu erkunden. Wir würden jederzeit wieder kommen!

Det er et fint hus der ligger rigtigt flot med udsigt ned over havet og byen Cefalu. Det var dog svært at varme op, da det var køligt vejr de første dage. Den opvarmede pool var ikke spor varm, den blev forsøgt lavet om torsdagen. Om lørdagen da vi tog hjem var det måske lidt varmere?

We stayed in the villa with 5 persons, so we had enough space. In the house you will find all the things you need to have a nice holiday. Because the villa is situated high un the hill, the temperature dropped in the evening, and it felt very cold. A rental car is handy, for the way up to the villa is very steep. Cefaly is nice to explore, enough nice restaurants to eat the real Italian food. We really enjoyed out stay!

Wir waren mit einer Gruppe von Freundinnen in dieser Villa und hätten es besser nicht treffen können um zusammenzusitzen, die Gegend mit der wunderbaren Aussicht zu genießen und uns einfach wohl zu fühlen in dieser schönen Villa. Sie ist sehr gut ausgestattet um zusammen kochen zu können und um die Ruhe im Garten am Pool zu geniessen. Wir haben uns sehr gut erholt! Gerne kommen wir wieder!
